Effect of Cr on Steel Solidification Structure Under EMS

摘要

Solidification experiments of Cr steel under linear EMS were conducted to investigate the columnar-to-equiaxed transition(CET).The results are compared with those in carbon steel to clarify effect of Cr content and EMS.The conclusions are as follow:The criterion for dendrite fragmentation under linear EMS is obtained and verified by previous paper,then is considered valid for Cr steel.Investigation is carried out on the relation between the superficial velocity in the bulk flow and critical solid fraction at the time of dendrite fragmentation(CET occurrence).The critical solid fraction is smaller in high Cr case.As a result,the CET occurrence is more difficult in this case.
